This is Lowara’s new range of stainless steel vertical multistage pumps, which have replaced the old SV2, SV4, SV8, SV16, SV32, SV64 pump models.

The new model sizes are 1SV, 3SV, 5SV, 10SV, 15SV and 22SV and each size being available with a varying numbers of impellers depending on the pressures required.

The new range has redesigned hydraulics and higher efficiency electric motors. They are found on booster pump sets, irrigation systems, wash systems, boiler feed and many more industrial and commercial applications. The entire wet end (pump materials that are in direct contact with the liquid being pumped) is constructed from stainless steel, with EPDM o-rings and a Carbon vs Silicon Carbide mechanical seal. This combination of hydraulic design and materials of construction, allows the pump to handle liquid temperatures of up to 120 degrees C, flows of up to 480 litres per minute and pressures up to 25 bar.

A similar design configuration to the surface mounted E-SV multistage pumps, but these pumps are designed to be mounted directly into the liquid feed tank. This makes them ideally suited for pumping high pressure coolant on machine tool applications, for example when coolant is actually pumped directly through the cutting tool and on to the job.

The range sizes are SVI2, SVI4, SVI8, SVI16, SVI33, SVI46, SVI66, and SVI92 and each size being available with a varying numbers of impellers depending on the pressures required. Various mechanical seal combinations are available on request and also longer stem lengths are available.

To enable this style of pump to generate higher pressures (up to approx 24 bar), the impellers will have been designed with a small through way and so the coolant must be kept clean or blockages can occur. There is a strainer on the base of the pump, so this will prevent some solids from entering the impeller stack. Please contact us if you require any further information or a data sheet sending.

These pumps are constructed from cast iron and are fitted with either a stainless steel or cast iron impeller. The suction and discharge ports are flanged and have an inline configuration. They are ideally suited for heating, ventilation, cooling and chilling applications.
